LangRank is a command-line tool that combines programming-language popularity and performance data into a single ranking using the Schulze method.

View the latest report · Download LangRank

Download the archive for your system from the latest GitHub release:

On Linux or macOS, extract the archive and install the binary for the current user:

tar -xzf langrank-<platform>.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
install -m 755 langrank ~/.local/bin/langrank

Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH, then verify the installation:

langrank --version

On Windows, extract the archive with File Explorer or PowerShell:

Expand-Archive .\langrank-windows-x86_64-msvc.zip -DestinationPath .\langrank
.\langrank\langrank.exe --version

Move langrank.exe to a permanent directory and add that directory to PATH if you want to run it as langrank from any terminal.

Install the Rust toolchain and Git, then let Cargo build and install the current version from GitHub:

cargo install --git https://github.com/hexqnt/langrank.git --locked
langrank --version

Cargo installs the executable into ~/.cargo/bin by default.

Running LangRank without options fetches the latest data and prints the top 10:

langrank

An internet connection is required while the program fetches its source data.

Print the complete ranking or see every available option:

langrank --full-output
langrank --help

Output flags accept an optional path. When no path is supplied, LangRank uses the default shown by langrank --help.

# Save the combined source data and final ranking as CSV
langrank --save-rankings --save-schulze

# Save a full HTML report to a custom path
langrank --save-html report.html --full-output

# Compress saved CSV files as .gz archives
langrank --save-rankings --save-schulze --archive-csv

HTML is minified by default. Use --no-minify-html when you need readable HTML source. Saving an HTML report also creates sitemap.xml and robots.txt in the same directory.

# Install Bash completions for the current user
langrank completions bash --install

# Print a fish completion script to stdout
langrank completions fish

LangRank treats TIOBE, PYPL, Languish, and the combined performance score as four preference ballots. The performance score blends relative Benchmarks Game results with the best TechEmpower framework score available for each language. The Schulze method combines these ballots into the final order; a combined popularity and performance score breaks ties.

Missing benchmark data is displayed as - and contributes zero to the relevant performance component.

The repository also provides a Rust library for fetching normalized ranking data. Disable default features when the CLI and report-generation dependencies are not needed:

[dependencies]
langrank = { git = "https://github.com/hexqnt/langrank.git", default-features = false }

The main entry point is langrank::Fetcher; individual source fetchers are also available for applications that need more control.

• TIOBE Index
• PYPL Popularity of Programming Language
• Languish
• The Computer Language Benchmarks Game
• TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks
